UNITEDy srrns CHARLES W. RAND, OF ABERIDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA.

SIDE-WALL REGISTER. y

Application led November 17, 1920.

To all whom t may concer/a g Be it known that I, CHARLns VV. RAND, acitizen of the United States, residing at Aberdeen, in the county ofBrown and State' of South Dakota, have invented certain new anduseful'mprovements in a Side lWall Register; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

The object of the invention is to provide aside wall or laterally openheating and Ventilating register for use in connection with one pipefurnaces or heating plants, primarily to avoid the disadvantagesincident to a floor register, ordinarily required in connection with afurnace ofthis type and which interferes with the arrangement of carpetsand rugs on the floor, furnishes a means of ingress of dust and dirt incleaning and sweeping the floor and constitutes a menace, particularlyto small children, in traversing the floor; in the second place toafford a means whereby the heating and Ventilating operation of theplant may be applied simultaneously and equally to a plurality of roomsor apartments separated by an intervening partition wall with a view tosecuring a more uniform heating and Ventilating of the interior of acompartmental structure; and furthermore to afford means whereby heatmay be communicated to upper floors of a building in addition to beingdistributed to the lower floor thereof as with the ordinary constructionand arrangement of a single pipe furnace; and with .these objects inview the invention consists in a construction and combination of partsof which a preferred embodiment is shown in the accompanying drawings,

wherein ,Figure 1 is a sectional view ofa portion of a building equippedwith a double distributing or partition wall register of a typeembodying the invention in connection with a conventional form of singlepipe heating unit and having associated therewith means forcommunicating heat to an upper floor of the same building.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of a register embodying the inventionindicating its relation with the heating plant.

Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the register on the planeindicated by line 3 3 of Figure 1.

Serial No. 424,734.

Figure 4 is a vertical sectional view of the sameon the plane indicatedby the line 4-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a detail section on the plane indicated by line 5-5 ofFigure 3.

Figure 6 is a detail view of one of the removable guards covering theoutlet of the register.

The register which for convenience of illustration, is shown inconnection with a conventional form of single pipe furnace having theheating unit 10 enclosed in the concentric inner and outer hot air andcold air drums 11 and 12 consists of a casing 13 which is shown as ofrectangular form, and is adapted to be incorporated in or let into apartition wall 14 of a building separating two rooms or apartmentsthereof and spanned longitudinally by a bearing plate 15 of a widthsubstantially corresponding with the thickness of the partition wall,said casing being divided interiorly to form a central hot air passage16 and a surrounding cold air passage 17, each of which is open atopposite sides of the casing as shown respectively at 18 and 19, acollar 20 which bounds the hot air passage being suspended in the casingand being adapted to fit the upper end of the hot air drum of thefurnace as indicated in Figure 1.

Preferably as indicated in the drawing, the hot air outlet openings 18are disposed above the cold air inlet openings 19, not only forconvenience in the construction of the register, but in order that thecolumn of hot air may be afforded a head and may be discharged in aplane adapting it to more readily displace the cold air which naturallyseeks the floor level of the room or apartment and is intended to bereceived by the cold air passage 17, to the end that a'more uniform andactive circulation of air in the room may be effected.

Depending from the bearing plate 15 there is preferably arranged adeflector or division plate 21 serving to more effectually divide thecolumn of hot air rising through the hot air passage and cause it to bedistributed with equality to the lateral outlets which are incommunication respectively with the rooms or apartments upon oppositesides of the plane of the intervening partition wa1114,

Moreover in order to provide for the direct communication of heated airto upper floors of the building, the bearing plate 15 may be providedwith openings 22 with which as indicated in Figure 'l may be connectedstacks 23 leading to registers 24, or equivalent means or' distribution.

Obviously when the direct communication of heated air to an upper flooris not required the openings in the bearing plates may be suitablycovered or closed by removable caps 15a shown in Figure 5. Also it willbe understood that any suitable conventional means 'for rendering thewalls of the casing relatively heat non-conducting may be provided as ameans ot safety or security against the overheating of adjacentiniiammable objects such as the flooring or other wood work of thebuilding, as, tor example, an asbestos interlining 30, arranged betweenlamina 3l, particularly in .the end ,walls ot the casing as indicated inFigures 3 and 5.

Regniovably itted upon the side portions ot i' the Veasii'ig at oppositesides ot the plane ot' the partition wall are guards 25, one oi .whichis shown detached iii Figure v6', the saine having side plates 26 and awire screen or equivalent filler .27 serving to present a neat andornamental appearance inthe rooin or apartment and at the saine timeprevent objects troni falling into the passages in communication withthe drums ot ,the heatinfr units.

/Ioreover, in" j@he preferred construction an air space 32 is providedbetween the end ywalls 0f the casing and the adjacent walls ojt the hotair passage, so that in practice the latter is completely surrounded bya' protection `air space, serving to guard adjacent*` wood work and incarrying out my principle o'l` protection the bearing or bridge plate1.5,

Having thus described the invention, what l claim is y l. A wallregister having a casing, an attaching collar vin said casing providinga warm air passageway and spaced from Athe outer wall thereotl .toprovide a cold air passageway, said collar at its upper extremity'flaring `outwardly t@ Vdivide said passageways, a ,plateabove/and vdisposed over said collar, a detlector depending trom said plate, andineansopen lon opposite sides of the passageway for the upward passageof heated air through said plate. i

'2. A wall register having a casing, an at` ftaching collar lin saidcasing providing Va warm 'air passageway and spaced yfroml the outerwall thereof to provide `a `'cold air passageway, Vsaid collar at itsVupper eX- tremity flaringoutwardly tov divide vsaid passageway, a plate'aboveand disposed Vover said'y collar, audeviector depending troniysaid plate, means fproviding .air spaces adjacent the upper end of saidcasing, and said'plate being consti' ifted with anv` air passageway incommunication with said air spaces.V In testimony wlier'eotl atljiX inysignature in presence vor' two witnesses.
